Medications and MAR
A Prepare Signature (Med Pour/Staging) on a Medication Administration Record (MAR) serves several vital functions: it confirms that the medication was prepared correctly according to prescribed instructions, holds the preparer accountable for accuracy and appropriateness, allows
traceability in case of issues or adverse events, ensures compliance with healthcare facility protocols and legal requirements, provides complete and accurate documentation of the medication administration process, and prompts a final safety check to prevent errors. This crucial step ensures accuracy, accountability, and safety in resident care.
How to Enter a Medication
Add Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions to the MAR for staff acknowledgment and tracking. Reporting available to track and view interventions that have been documented.

ManageRx is a pharmacy portal designed to give pharmacists, techs, and others, who are on the pharmacy side, access to information in real-time relative to the BlueStep communities they are serving. This is done by bringing data from all the BlueStep systems that are in the pharmacy's market that they are actively servicing. Data is brought into one place and divided into actionable categories.
